> the ancient early-1990s legacy ... Exchange I bet even today's Microsoft engineers fear that code. > violation of the MIME standard in the calendar function of Microsoft Exchange that sends these messages Right. "Microsoft doesn't respect Internet standards" isn't new. Thunderbird always had the policy to treat compat issues - independent of who is the spec violator - as bug and fix it. The reality is that people working in companies send these invitations, to people inside and outside the company, and if you are unfortunate enough to use Thunderbird without Lightning, you don't even see the meeting time or location. Guess who the meeting organizer will blame? Try arguing with him that Exchange has a bug. *YOU* missed the meeting, because you used Thunderbird. Everybody else was at the meeting. You were not there. Simple as that. -------- That said, I know (comment 118, and from my own testing), the bug appeared only if you use Thunderbird without Lighting. Can somebody reproduce this bug in Thunderbird 78 with Lightning enabled?
